Congratulations LondonMiss I'm sure eveything will be fine on Saturday your numbers are already so high...bet you cant wait for DH to come home and share the joy.
Hope that we continue to hear more good news in the next few days
Sunflowa_girlie - Welcome to the 2WW! You will find lots of support and knowlege on BB... the ladies on here are fantastic! Good Luck with 2WW and sending you lots and lots of !
taken a while for it to sink in ... and DH and I went for a walk.
so, hcg was 86...they said they're happy with anything over 80, but I'm gonna get my GP to do another test on Saturday to reassure myself the no.s are roughly doubling. My progesterone is at 240 which is high like last time...first trimester they say between 30 and 100, so my bodies doing everything to protect this wee splodge.
we've kindof agreed (dh more than me) to not tell people till 12 weeks, although quite a few will suspect... so you guys are IT!
LONDONMISS - congratulations!! way to go!!! Guy Fawkes day has a special meaning for us now!!!!
thank you for everyone's support and advice....may you all achieve your dreams soon. I'll keep an eye out and lurk for a while no doubt. xxxx

starbright,lise,coral and terry...thank you girls...there's a no. of times recently I'd like to put faces to names..and this is one of them. you guys rock, and I hope dearly that everyones' dreams come true soon.
starbright i'm sorry you're cramping... we've all been there, and that's what makes this forum invaluable.
terry...wow FET next week...fx crossed you continue the good luck that's floating about ...sticky thoughts coming your way. x
Hello all. I cannot thank you enough for all the kind comments and messages - it really would have been an impossible journey without BB. Coral was kind enough to write out what she did differently this month and I'll try to add my twopennethworth into the mixture... hope it helps
1. Relaxing
Yeah yeah yeah, if one more person tells you to "relax and it will happen", you will blow their head off with a kalashnikov.. no, I meant more like regular massages. I did not and will not stop drinking my four units of red wine a week. The evidence for alcohol I think now is much weaker than the evidence for giving up caffeine which I did for the whole TWW and had decaf tea. I had no chocolate either. I tried to swim every other day.
2. Vitamins
I'm a strict vegetarian but even we can do with more veg, fruit and vitamins! So I did more of this. I was also careful to eat better protein and ate seeded bread (Burgen soylin) as I'm not a big nut eater. I had flaxseed oil from my nutritionist on my food.
3. Faith/ Positive thinking
I don't know why but I thought this was my month from the start. (if you are of sceptical persuasion, skip onto the next post now). I have worn the same crucifix since the IUI until the BT this time, and did the other successful time. Prayed more. Wore my lucky knickers. Listened to the same music on my IPOD that we had at the wedding whilst the IUI being done. I've spent a lot of time rubbing and talking to my belly too. (and keeping my temperature down)
Airline - I'm so pleased for you - congratulations. I'm just over moon.
Only wish DH were here, and the dog had not developed a naughty streak...
Oh wow, I haven't visited here for a while but I remember LondonMiss and airline from my 2WW and wanted to say HUGE CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!!! I am so happy for you both! Good luck with your pg and wishing you a happy, healthy and smooth road ahead in your pg!!
Airline and LondonMiss... ... that's BRILLIANT news! Congratulations ladies, and best of luck for great numbers on Saturday. Hope you have happy and healthy pregnancies!
Starbright and Paula - good luck for your BTs in the coming days, and anyone else who's BT is coming up!
AFM - I'm officially out of the running, after a very (uncharacteristically) slow start, AF has struck with a vengeance... she's such a cow! Booking on tomorrow for a hopefully successful IUI cycle, inspired by you lovely ladies! DH is back for a week starting Sunday, so I'll be dragging him up to the clinic ASAP to put some soldiers in the deep freeze to avoid another cancelled cycle.
Good luck to all of you in the 2WW, sending lots of and Look forward to seeing (fewer of) you all in my next 2WW! Will lurk and watch the BFPs rack up in the meantime...
Huge congrats to Londonmiss and airline.i hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and delivery.
Good luck to all those due to test in next few days.
AFM- im in natural tww at the moment.if cycle is back to normal af should be here late next week.i fully expect her to show up though. last cycle af was three weeks late, it nearly drove me insane.i was sure i was utd with her being so late.i have been sick a couple mornings this week but suspect its just from stress about other stuff going on at present. on the iui front i rang late last week to try and make an appointment with FS and the first appointment they could fit us in for is dec 2nd i had originally hoped to do at least one iui cycle before the end of the year if not even maybe being part way into a second cycle but since i should ovulate around time of our appointment we probably wont get to do the iui til january now.it would have been so nice to get a bfp christmas miracle. I have been invited to sister in laws baby shower on dec 5th so depending how appointment goes i may not be in a party mood. I've been getting stuck into the christmas shopping the last few day-got all except two presents for my girls (though those two are on layby lol-a wii and those new interactive my little pony unicorns) but the mountain of small pressies are her-last fortnight we got them gorgeous silver special daughter pendants-Dp bought them and said well they are my daughters too,even if i am their stepdad).my favourite things i got them was mp3 players (and earplugs for myself ) and got them camera phones.the phones were $29 bucks and came with ten bucks credit...bargain lol.both have health problems so i thought at that price it would be a good idea for them to have phones for emergencies.
Also got part of DP's present plus 5 of the 8 nieces and nephews presents on layby.so its only really the rest of dp's pres plus the parents and get the laybys off.going to start wrapping presents over next few weeks rather than leave it til last minute and be buried alive under it all.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. we are going to youngest nieces name giving tomorrow morning then to gold coast for gridiron in the afternoon (dp coaches)
Firstly, my most heartfelt congratulations to Airline and LondonMiss. You both deserve this so much and I hope all is smooth from here for you both. Thank you for being so supportive and welcoming to BB and I hope you will both stay in touch from time to time.
Paula- Thinking of you today and hope you continue this great run of BFPs!
AFM- I'm out. Did the FS-sanctioned HPT yesterday which was negative and was followed by AF so no need for a BT. To say I'm devastated is an understatement. Although I'd had my doubts for a few days, the reality of a failed cycle has really knocked me around. My beautiful DH stayed home from work yesterday to be with me and is disappointed as well but I guess it's different when you're the one whose body was responsible for protecting that precious little life.
I have been holding on to the hope that should this cycle fail then I would move straight into a FET cycle. It has been a long road to get to this point and I felt so good while I was in the process because I was proactively involved in getting pregnant. When I rang my clinic with the news yesterday and told the nurse I wanted to move into a frozen cycle immediately she said that the FS likes his patients to have a month off after a stim cycle (which I suppose is fair enough) but here is the kick in the guts- doing the maths, it looks like I will miss out on transfer this year with the last transfer date being Dec 18 so we will be looking at January. I really, really really do not want to be waiting until January to go again. I have an appointment with FS on Wednesday so I will see what we can do then.
So it looks like that's it for me for a little while. Good luck to everyone. xx
